Question 2

Marks: 1

A student carried out an experiment to determine the enthalpy change for the combustion of ethanol.

The following results were obtained by the student. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J g⁻¹ K⁻¹. q1_5-1_ib_sl_easy_mcq

start temperature of the water	21 °C
final temperature of the water	41 °C
mass of alcohol burner before burning	259.75 g
mass of alcohol burner after burning	259.18 g
mass of glass beaker plus water	150.00 g
mass of glass beaker	50.0 g

How much of the heat energy produced by the burning of ethanol went into the water?

100 x 4.18 x 20 J
150 x 4.18 x 20 J
0.57 x 4.18 x 20 J
100 x 4.18 x 41 J

Question 3

Marks: 1

When a sample of ammonium chloride is added to a small beaker of water and stirred, the temperature drops as the ammonium chloride slowly dissolves in the water.
